Abstract : In this patent application a microscope is disclosed as incorporating a light source which broadcasts light in succession through a holographic condenser lens, a transparent object support stage, an object to be magnified, a holographic objective lens, a holographic zoom lens assembly, a combination holographic redirector and magnifier lens, and a holographic eyepiece lens which may or may not be located on the same observational axis as the aforesaid holographic lenses. The holographic eyepiece lens is constructed sufficiently large to accommodate the two eyes of a human observer at the same time, thereby providing binocular vision characteristics by a single lens.
